Others say...
"Good product - bad advice" If you like French presses you'll probably like this. Unlike glass it is unbreakable. I prefer the filter design on this one. The glass ones have several parts and are fiddly to clean and re-assemble. The Columbia has a one piece filter so is easier to clean and assemble and it works just as well as the the multi part filters. The insulation helps maintain the water temperature while you brew. I took one star off because using the maker to store the coffee after brewing is a bad idea. Why? because with the grounds still in the coffee it continues to brew resulting in over extracted bitter coffee. Better to pour the coffee in to a separate carafe after brewing. The folks at Bodum know this; shame on them for saying that this will serve as a carafe after brewing. Another thing to keep in mind is that when they say it holds 34 oz that means it holds 34oz of water when filled to the brim without the grounds. I've found that it actually makes about 30oz of coffee. That said, after over a year of use, I liked it well enough that when I broke my big glass press I replaced it with the the bigger Columbia. A very nice product overall. "Pouring is a pain" I got this because I broke a glass press pot on our granite countertop. This one does not break; that is the good news. My problem with this one is that when I pour, I get perhaps 2/3's of the coffee out. Then it stops or pours out very slowly. I tip it back upright, swirl it around, pour again. I repeat that process several times in order to get most of the coffee out. That, as they say, is a pain. I plan on moving back to the glass beaker form and being a little more careful. "Beauty, functional for every day" This pot isn't brain surgery - it's just a coffee pot that makes good quick coffee, same way, every time. I use it every day in my studio. It's simple, durable, great style and worth the price. "Very Durable" My press works great, and makes very very good coffee. Coffee cools down much slower than it does in a glass press. Durability and visual appeal is excellent as well. Mine works great, there were no problems with fit or finish. Cleaning the press was easy too. If you don't plan on drinking the pot in a couple of hours, you will have to transfer it to a thermos for a hot cup later. "As good as a press can get." No press is perfect at keeping coffee hot for hours - but this one gives a valiant attempt. No other press works as well and looks as great as this one. It cleans to a shine everytime and makes great coffee. Pair this with a cheap electric kettle and any dorm room can make the best coffee in the world. And keep it hot while you write a review for amazon... glass presses would have been very cold by now ....

What our customer's say! "Even Better!!!", I've been using the traditional Bodum French press for a while. Although....I must say that without the instant hot water maker, I'd be using a coffee pot though... Nuking the water for a French Press takes too long, and basically makes me want my coffee maker back. But I digress. This is without a doubt, the KING of the French press. It's shiny and pretty to have in the kitchen. I've gotten several compliments on it. It's also very easy to clean since there are now only two parts to this. The plunger and the pot. And I'm a guy. I like things that clean easily. Less is definitely more to me. The traditional French Press has fragile glass. I'd gone through 3 of the glass inserts before buying this one. They don't tell you that if you don't take the glass inserts out over time, that the housing will eventually rust and make rust spots on the glass carafe. But this one, piece of cake. I'm sorry I bought the glass carafe first. This one is the king! Coffee is excellent. Stays hot enough to have several cups hot. Winner! "Great Coffee", I use this whenever I am working from home, and my larger Chemex 10 Cup Coffee Maker when I am filling a thermos for work. (I need more coffee when I go into the office because I have the best coffee there and thus have to share!) This is a great way to make coffee! The french press style of brewing is much easier then my chemex and the coffee is just as good! Sure, with a french press you do sometimes get a small amount of fine grounds in your coffee (which never happens with the chemex) but it is a small price to pay for the convenience. Also, the second filter in the pour spout keeps out a lot of the worst grounds. If you find you are consistently getting obnoxious amounts of coffee grounds in your coffee then you are probably overfilling the french press. Try less water next time; that should alleviate the problem. One reviewer complained that the coffee will cool in this french press. This is true but it does not occur nearly as quickly as it would if you left the coffee in a glass french press (or in the chemex for that matter). I find the coffee to remain at a drinkable temperature all morning. (On the other hand, I don't like my coffee to be piping hot when I drink it as that mutes the flavor.) My biggest complaint is that I always drip coffee. It spills when I pour it and it leaves a ring on the desk every day. Nobody else has complained of this though so maybe it's just me. Another complaint is that sometimes you think it's empty, because no more coffee comes out, but there is still another cup or two hiding in there. You need to play with the plunger to coax out the last cup. If it were just a swallow I wouldn't care; the last swallow out of a french press can be kind of chewy anyway ;-). But there's often a whole mug of coffee hiding in there! These two things detract enough from this press that I give mine four stars instead of five. Now go drink coffee and be happy! "Hot Pot", Having used a French Press for more years than I care to remember, I wouldn't make coffee any other way. The only downside was breaking the glass beakers. For this reason, I bought the stainless steel pot. It keeps the coffee hot a little longer than glass and longer still under a homemade "coffee cozy." However, don't buy it if you are looking for something to keep the coffee hot for hours. It may say eight cups but it really only fills two good size mugs, maybe three. Eight cups would be the old-fashioned 4-ounce size cup complete with saucer. The press is excellent with very good fit. I'm thrilled to not have to replace any more glass beakers. After time, that gets to be kind of pricey as well as a pain. "Bodum coffee press", I have broken at least a half dozen coffee presses over the years and finally got fed up and bought a stainless steel model. This press works great! No amount of dropping will damage it. The only small complaint is that it is not as insulated as I was expecting. The coffee gets cold in about the same amount of time as a glass press. "The Ultimate Press", My husband had been using a Bodum press with a glass beaker, which he loved. But I noticed that he was transfering the coffee to a thermal pot to keep it warm, and so we had two utensils on the counter instead of one. So, when the beaker broke, which they are wont to do, I bought him the Bodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot. He is in awe of this one! It is beautiful, has a finer mesh "plunger", keeps his coffee warm, and has no seams on the outside to collect water when in the dishwasher (an added bonus). He is immensely pleased! Me, too! 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Excelent Product", I was very excited to find such an attractively styled stainless press available for such a great price. After spending $15 to $30 each on several glass presses, only to have them get broken after only a couple of months, I was extremely ready to try a more durable option. I have not been disapointed in any regard. This Bodium press brews almost exactly two full cups of coffee, just the right amount at French press strength, and enough two share if brewing for two. While the insulation is not substantial to the extent of a thermos, it certainly does maintain heat much better than a glass or thin metal press would. I find that my second cup of coffee is still a good drinking temperature after as long as two and a half hours. In a glass press, it would certainly not be. The product is quite durable and well made; simple, elegant, enduring styling that suits any home, and will not age. After several months of daily use, it looks exactly the same as when I bought it - not a dent, blemish or sign of wear. I hand wash it every day after use and it shines up perfectly. I'm sure I will own and enjoy this press for the rest of my coffee drinking days! "I Returned It", Just bought this for making tea but returned it. The pot leached a blackish-purple color into my green tea. If you're making coffee you might want to test it on pure water first. "Great Press!", Makes the best tasting coffee I've ever made at home. Keeps it warm for a long time which is something that non-thermal presses do not. I used one just like it at a friends place in London and just had to have one as soon as I got back to the States! "much better than glass", When I demolished my glass French press, I bought one of these. That was four years ago. It not only works well, but you can take the pieces apart for easier cleaning. The only minor glitch is that the rubber flange around the press can get torn or out of place if you're rough on things like I am. (I just have a tiny notch in mine, but it still works great.) The pitcher is not going to shatter if you drop it, and it can have other uses with the press parts removed. Also, the double-walled stainless keeps beverages hot longer. It's great! I got one for my sister and mom as well! Note: pressed coffee can be stronger than auto-brewed, so keep that in mind when adding grounds. "Wow, simply awesome!", Some years ago I bought a "3-cup" Bodum French Press, which doesn't even make enough coffee for 1 cup. I like a big cup of coffee so I never used it much, and when I did I was very careful not to break the glass (and I didn't). I considered getting a bigger French Press but they are so fragile. Then I discovered the Columbia stainless-steel model, and I bought one from Amazon. I chose the 8-cup size because the 12 cup size is too much and the 3 cup size (where a "cup" means about 4 ounces) is too little. And am I glad I bought it! I've been drinking Peets coffee for over two decades and they recommend French presses as the best way to make coffee, and they are right. The flavor is incredible, so rich. The unit is simple to use and easy to clean, and it's unbreakable. And it's attractive! And it will serve 2 big cups (12-16 ounce mugs) to two people. I did hesitate after reading about a study that suggests that drinking unfiltered coffee (i.e., French pressed coffee) can lead to an increase in "bad" cholesterol. If you Google something like "french press health concerns" you'll find the information I'm referring to. Of course I do many high risk things in my life, like get out of bed, cross the street, drive, and breathe, but I do eat a bowl of oatmeal daily (said to help rid the body of "bad" cholesterol), and I don't use the French press every single day, and you only live once (as far as we know), so I figured I'd go ahead and indulge. . . If you are going to indulge in French pressed coffee and want a nice looking unit that is unbreakable and easy to prep and clean, spend the money, you'll be glad you did! I think I just talked myself into making a pot! |
